On the 20th day of the eighth lunar month, fish come to celebrate your birthday.
This old saying is often mentioned in Chollima.
The main reason is that the meat of this fish is tender and very delicious.
Zhang Jinyu wanted to learn how to make this dish, so Fu Yu would make a few extra remarks when cooking.
"The method of preparing fish is unique and very sophisticated. We choose the squid with few spines and thick meat. After peeling and deboning, cut the fish in half from the back, then cut it into 5 cm square and 0.5 cm thick fish fillets, dip it in Add starch and use a rolling pin on the cutting board to slowly pound it into a round piece as thin as a cicada."
Fu Yu recited the preparation method of the classic old flavor recipe intact.
Zhang Jinyu was speechless when he heard this.
He has never been sure how to measure this fish fillet, which is about 5 centimeters square and about 0.5 centimeters thick.
Fu Yu thought of himself and could quite understand Zhang Jinyu's dilemma.
If there is no absolute feeling of blessing, in fact, he used to be like this. The most annoying thing is "appropriate amount", "approximately", "a small amount", and the clearly defined thickness. For him, it is simply troublesome and he cannot grasp it at all.
So Fu Yu specifically asked Zhang Jinyu to reach out and feel the thickness of the fish fillet: "Remember this feeling, and when you encounter such a dish in the future, just rely on the feel of the fish and it will be fine."
Zhang Jinyu nodded. Although the fish fillet felt very thin in his hand and he couldn't grasp the specific feel, he still studied very seriously.
Fu Yu cut the eel fish into 1 cm thick slices.
Place cornstarch on a cutting board, place the fish fillets on top, sprinkle another layer of cornstarch on the fish, and pound with a mallet or rolling pin until the skin becomes thin.
Fu Yu warned while beating: "When beating the fish fillets, add the cornstarch in batches while beating. Don't beat too much powder. Adding too much will affect the taste."
Zhang Jinyu remembered it carefully.
Fu Yu placed the pounded fish fillets in a pot of boiling water at 80 or 90 degrees Celsius, boiled them over high heat for about 40 seconds, and then removed them and cut them into strips.
"When cooking fish fillets, never use cold water in the pot, otherwise the fish soup will not be clear."
Zhang Jinyu nodded: "Okay."
Fu Yu took another pot, added chicken breasts, put cold water into the pot, brought to a boil over high heat, blanch for 3 minutes and remove.
Shred the cooked ham, mushrooms, and cooked chicken breast and set aside.
Fu Yu added: "When cutting the shreds, be careful not to make them too thin, but not too thick either, because you have to consider the taste and presentation effect."
Then, blanch the cabbage sum in a pot of boiling water and set aside.
Finally, add clear soup to the pot.
Add fish fillets, cabbage sum, salt and cooking wine.
After boiling, add shredded mushrooms, shredded cooked chicken breast, shredded cooked ham, MSG, add a little pepper, and drizzle with cooked chicken oil.
When packing, there is just enough left in the bottom of a bowl.
Fu Yusheng came out and took a taste with a spoon.
Indeed, as described in the classic old taste recipe, the soup is clear and mellow, tender and smooth.
After Zhang Jinyu waited for Fu Yu to taste it, he drank the remaining soup base from his bowl.
Then he smacked his lips: "It's so fresh!"
Fu Yu then made braised water and fish ball soup.
There are fish cakes in the shop. Fu Yu's side has finished cooking, and Bai An's side has also finished cooking the fish cakes.
GuSi
After successfully completing the packaging of four dishes, one soup and one staple food, Fu Yu continued to take orders and cook the next dish for the banquet.
The waiter quickly delivered the packed meals to the front hall.
Chollima's packed food boxes are very beautiful. They are thin wooden boxes. You don't have to worry about the bag breaking when you carry it. Moreover, the food boxes inside are made of glass. Although they are heavy, you don't have to worry about the smell caused by overheating the dishes.
Although he didn't see the dishes inside, Li Weijia felt very satisfied just looking at the packaging box.
He rushed back to the hospital carrying the packing box with great anticipation.
In the delivery ward, there were six mothers living in one room. In front of each patient's bed, many family members were crowded around, busy taking care of them.
Even through the curtain, it still looked noisy, but no one felt upset.
Because they were all here to wait for the birth, everyone was beaming with joy, looking expectant and nervous.
Li Weijia's wife was in bed No. 3, and family members from both sides came over. In addition to his parents, there was also his eldest sister, his wife's best friend.
A large number of people crowded in front of the hospital bed, surrounding his wife with greetings.
His wife gave birth naturally and her due date is today.
But now it's evening, but the labor pains haven't started yet.
The whole family didn't dare to take a step away, for fear that no one would look after them at the critical moment.
When Li Weijia saw his wife lying on the bed with a big belly, accompanied by the whole family, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He walked over quickly and greeted with a smile: "I'm back!"
Suddenly everyone's attention was focused on him.
Li Weijia handed over the packing box in his hand like a treasure. His mother reached out to take it and quickly called others to prepare the table.
His wife laughed and asked, "Where did you buy this from? The packing box looks really decent!"
Li Weijia asked for credit: "Didn't you say you wanted to eat food from your hometown? I specially ordered it from Qianlima. Take a look. Is it the same as what you usually eat at home?"
His wife suddenly looked surprised: "Seafood? It's so good. I'm really hungry for this bite!"
His mother-in-law was moved and said helplessly: "Weijia, just spoil her. There's nothing special about the food at home. They're all seafood. Just cook them. They even cooked them all the way." A trip, really..."
Li Weijia hurriedly said: "My wife is greedy for this bite, which means that the child in her belly also wants to eat it. I will buy one portion and it can be eaten by both of us without any hassle. I am happy!"
His mother also smiled and said: "That's right, try it quickly. If it tastes good, let him buy it tomorrow!"
The son-in-law knows how to love his wife, and he is happy to be the mother-in-law.
Seeing the in-laws doting on their daughter as if they were their own children, they couldn't help but smile and unpack the package.
When the outermost wooden lid was opened, I didn't feel anything. When I opened the tight lid of the packed lunch box inside, a strong smell of seafood suddenly hit my nostrils.
Several lunch boxes were opened one after another, filling the dining table.
Because Qianlima uses high-quality thermal insulation packaging boxes, Li Weijia drove all the way back in a hurry, and the meal looked steaming hot.
His wife was surrounded by stars and the moon. Everyone in the family watched her happily inspecting the dishes one by one. Then she picked up the tableware and eagerly picked the ones closest to her and began to taste them.
Eat vegetables first, then drink soup, and finally eat a piece of fragrant fish cake.
Li Weijia asked expectantly: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
While his wife was eating the food, she said vaguely: "It's delicious! It's very similar to the ones from my hometown! Especially this prawn dish, it tastes just like the one my mother makes!"
His mother-in-law saw her daughter eating deliciously and smiled from ear to ear: "It's delicious, but don't eat too much. When you go back to give birth, it won't be too full!"
